Patch Tuesday Sets a 974-CVE Record as Microsoft and Adobe Push Urgent Updates

Microsoft’s Patch Tuesday breaks a record with 974 CVEs across its products, including two zero-days already being exploited (CVE-2026-85880 in ALPC and CVE-2026-81963 in the Windows Update Stack); the US CISA added them to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog with patch deadlines. Adobe followed with 172 CVEs across 10 bulletins, including the Magento/Adobe Commerce zero-day StyleSmuggler (CVE-2026-75650) under active abuse targeting online shops. The release also highlights Exchange Server vulnerabilities (CVE-2026-55007) as wormable and notes ongoing chatter about a Chromium-based V8 flaw (CVE-2026-85046) without a Microsoft advisory, underscoring urgency to patch across ecosystems.
